We, the citizens of so-called western democracies, whose treasure and prodigy are willfully and obligingly expended in these conflagrations; we should demand emphasis be directed toward clarifying the motivation(s) of our political elites in their life-expending, strategic decision-making, game of global chess that is blindly supported through partisan biased, sound-bite echoing, ill-informed commercial main-stream media reporting and, the sycophant behavior of equally ill-informed and financially motivated pundits.

As an avid follower of these unsettling, world events it is increasingly difficult to believe in the functionality of civil, global society; a collective that appears willing to let itself to be driven toward an apocalyptic abyss by the pathological, psychopathic maneuverings of but a few of our species. If there is ever a time in our human history that represents the worse of humanity it is Now, this time, this place. On every front, every issue, chaos presents an opportunity for the collapse of civil, human existence to which our elected representatives respond; not with solution but, with derision, division and duplicitous rhetoric.

Know the truth of why the HARPER GOVERNMENT of Canada recently visited Israel. The promotion of Canada as a viable place for Israeli business and consumer products makes we Canadians complicit in the atrocities and illegal persecution of Palestinian Peoples of the region. Canadians must support and join other democratic nations that are officially boycotting Israel until such time as it resolves permanently, this important and long-standing issue. SAY NO TO ISRAELI BUSINESS!

Myopic is the global, political mindset,
It yields the greatest electoral return,
Foregoing the interest of the unborn children,
Yields fossil fuels legislated to pollute, opposition to spurn.

Jobs, jobs, and more jobs
The rationale to explain and excuse
The destruction of earthly resources
Health and welfare of the many to be abused

Fracking, pipelines nomenclature of the day,
Hyped as essential for the economy to survive.
Forests and fresh water resources given to the cause;
Deemed unessential for humanity to flourish and thrive.

The powers that be hold all the relevant cards,
The balance of power rests in their hand.
To reverse the current destructive, global path;
The powerless together, must unite and band.

Populace, street demonstrations are impudent to needed change;
A more powerful, permanent message may be needed, enforced.
A global, collective opposition to those self-serving and rule;
A tangible, visible sign of change that all humanity can endorse.

Violence, loss of property and life is not the wanted course,
Yet they whom hold the power for conditions to be sustained
Continue to ignore the plight and demands of the many;
Whatever the outcome, responsibility, to them, the blame, remains.
